- Description
- NASA intends to award a sole-source no increase in contract value extension to contract NNG12CR29C to Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies, Inc. (SGT), pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1), Only One Responsible Source, in support of Goddard Space Flight Centers (GSFC) Applied Engineering and Technical Directorate (AETD). This no increase in contract value extension will extend the contract for a period not to exceed 6 months beyond the current contract. The no cost extension will be structured as one 3-month period from October 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 and three 1-month options from January 1, 2016 to January 31, 2016 (Option 4), from February 1, 2016 to February 28, 2016 (Option 5) and from March 1, 2016 to March 31, 2016 (Option 6). This will allow for continued services until the Mechanical Integrated Services and Technologies (MIST) competitive follow-on procurement is completed. The current contract is a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract. This extension requires no increase in contract value, since the current maximum ordering value of the IDIQ contract can accommodate the value of the continued services. The extension is necessary in order to ensure program continuity and critical mission support and to avoid significant technical impacts to the AETD and supporting directorates. The current Contractor is required to provide on/off-site multidisciplinary engineering services supporting all aspects of mission and instrument development and implementation as required by the AETD. An interruption and restart of those tasks, with a new contractor for a limited time until the competitive follow-on procurement is completed, would greatly jeopardize the success of critical and highly visible Agency programs. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. SGT, Inc., as the current incumbent, has the combined training, experience, and expertise to provide uninterrupted continuation of mission critical support. Due to the time and substantial duplication of costs involved in procuring and phasing in another contractor during the follow-on competition, SGT, Inc., is considered the only contractor that can meet GSFCs needs. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing, via email, to the identified point of contact not later than 4:00 PM EST on September 24, 2015. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/p ub_library/Omb.html.
